Keep tho gym fund going, it’s a ■worthy cause and those working for it are doing it unselfishly and for the sole purpose of providing a clean place for the boys and girls. Help them. The twenty-six suffragettes who are to make a tour across the country in a special train in the interest of suffrage, do not have the supi>ort or the sympathy of the suffragettes at large. The twenty-six are the ones •who went to jail for picketing the white house grounds. They are cheap notoriety seekers, and their efforts to create any sentiment for a favorable vote on woman suffrage will amount to nothing. They are the laughing stock of the country. What they need is for their husbands —if they have any—to turn them over the knee and administer a real spanking, such as is given to the juveniles. And the public ought to see the show. — Hartford City News. Decatur needs a chamber of commerce, a central body who will take care of the various and important problems of the reconstruction period. We need it now worse than ever before. We know of one concern who are contemplating spending a large sum of money in this community and they should have the cooperation of the business interests of The railroad proposition needs attention, the park question, the road improvements, the hundred things that always come up should be discussed by those people who have the interest of the town at heart, so that

we can derive the most benefit from our opportunities. Let's meet this week and organize. There are at least three funds on hands now, none of them working or doing any good. They should be combined and efforts made to step forward. The little city of Auburn has a club with 350 members, fifty of whom are farmers and they are doing things, have landed two factories and have just completed plans for bringing in another. That’s the spirit. We can do it too, if we will. It's an old story —this story of the ancient king who was always unhappy—but it is worth telling again. The king was told by wise men that he would never be happy until he

found and wore the shirt of a perfect- ( ly happy man. The king’s messangers hunted far and near for such a man. And were returning unsuccessful when they heard laughter in an alfalfa field beside the road. They found a num fairly shouting with joy. "Give us your shirt for the king,” tho messengers commanded. They pulled back Ms coat to take his shirt from him and discovered that the happy man had none! There is no reaaon why this should not be a haply year; the farming situation is more encouraging than it has been for many years. Farm people will be able to get more of the things they want than ever before. But getting alone does not bring happiness, wheth er it is getting shirts or big crops. Happiness comes from the inside. Like com and potatoes it must be cultivated to have a full crop.—The Farm Journal.

WEAKNESS REMAINS LONG AFTER Influenza Reports Show That Strength, Energy and Ambition Return Very Slowly to Grippe Patients. After an attack of influenza, doctors advise that nature be assisted in Its building-up process by the usn of a good tonic—one that will not only put strength and endurance into the body, but will also help to build up and strengthen the run-down cells of the brain. One of the most highly recommended remedies to put energy into both body and brain is Bio-feren —your physician knows the formula—it is printed below. There’s iron in Bio-feren—the kind of iron that makes red blood corpuscles and creates vigor. There is lecithin also; probably the best brain invigorator known to science. Then there is good old reliable gentian, that brings back your lagging appetite. There are other ingredients that help to promote good health, as you can see by reading this formula. not forgetting kolo, that great agent that puts the power of endurance into weak people. Taken altogether Bio-feren is a splendid active tonic that will greatly help any weak, run-down person to regain normal strength, energy, ambition and endurance. Bio-feren is sold by all reliable druggists and Is inexpensive. For weakness after influenza patients are advised to take two tablets after each meal and one at bed time —• seven a day, until health, strength and vigor are fully restored. It will not fall to help you and if for any reason you are dissatisfied with results your druggist is authorized to return your money upon request —without any red tape of any kind. Note to physicians: There is no secret about the formula of Bioferen. it is printed on every package. Here it is: Lecithin: Calcium Glycero-phosphate; Iron Peptonate. Manganese Peptonate: Ext bux. Vomica; Powdered Gentian, Phenolphthalein; Olearsln Capsicum. Kolo.
